Do you cover the laser-cut vinyl lettering with a clear overlay of some kind (for protection)?

Not usually. It's best not to place the decals in areas prone to abrasion (from straps, paddles, etc.).

I was cautioned to make the lettering on my 'Express' labels (to replace the original Mariner labels) 'as blocky as possible- thin lettering is too delicate' . Have you found this to be a problem?

It can be an issue. The original CSCWC logo had even more detail and the tips ended up being pretty fragile. I found a font that had rounder tips and it's done wonders. Again, best not to place the decals where they can get hit.

And, what are the 'specs' on your 'Builder & Model' label on the inside of the cockpit?

I don't have the exact specs but that's a similar vinyl. It's used for car skins. They print whatever you want on a white background and then the border gets laser cut.
